Gorillas are one of our closest living relatives, the largest of
all living primates, and teeter on the brink of extinction. These
fascinating animals are the focus of this in-depth and
comprehensive examination of gorilla biology. Gorilla Biology
combines recent research in morphology, genetics and behavioural
ecology to reveal the complexity and diversity of gorilla
populations. The first section focuses on morphological and
molecular variation and underscores the importance of understanding
diverse biological patterns at all levels in testing evolutionary
and adaptive hypotheses and elucidating subspecies and species
diversification. Following are discussions of the ecological
constraints that influence gorilla social organization and
highlight their surprising flexibility. The book ends with
discussions of the conservation status of gorillas and the many and
increasing threats to their continued survival. Giving insight into
the evolutionary biology of these unique primates, this book will
be essential reading for primatologists, anthropologists and
evolutionary biologists.
